the schism

2nd axis does almost nothing

In 1d about 2/3 of the political spectrum is being called the same thing. Elevating political discourse to where we are not calling tankies and social libertarians the same thing seems like more than “almost nothing” to me.

at the very least

It sure would be swell if people could, at the very least, elevate to a 2d view of politics. Hearing the majority of quadrants II, III, and IV all referred to all “far-left” is confusing at best.

Yeah, why would you judge people by what they say on a forum where all you know about them is what they say? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvgZtdmyKlI

I hate it when the default state is turned into the negative. Every time I have to specify “unsweet tea” I feel the sands of my lifeforce slipping away.
